Explaining How Six Line Quattro System Works
This roulette strategy is based on two basic rules:
- You must place 4 line bets. Each bet will cover 6 numbers, so you are betting on 24 numbers (6x4) in total. Considering that there are 37 numbers in European roulette and 38 numbers in American roulette, this significantly increases your chances of winning.
- If you still lose, you have to repeat the same bets in the next round but increase the stake by 3 times.
- If you win, you should continue playing, returning to the initial bet.
Technically, this system is no different from the Triple Martingale strategy. It only increases your chances of winning by placing bets on more outcomes.
A Practical Example
Let's assume that we start with the lowest possible stake (1 USD).
- Spin 1: We place 1 USD for each of the 4 line bets (total stake: 4 USD).
- Spin 2: We lose. So, we place 3 USD (1 x 3) for the same bets (total stake: 12 USD).
- Spin 3: We lose once again. We continue by placing 9 USD (3 x 3) for the same bets (total stake: 36 USD).
- Spin 4: Yes, we were really unlucky. This round, we will increase each bet to 27 USD (9 x 3), so the total stake will be 108 USD.
We could continue the example, but it's easy to see how the progression works: you always place four line bets and increase the amount you bet on each of them (in case you lose) by 3 times. These bets give you around a 68% chance of winning in the single-zero roulette variants, so if you're lucky enough, you won't need to increase the bet that often. Still, let's not settle for assumptions: we will create a simulation and see how the strategy works out.
Six Line Quattro Test with a Simulator
Like our other simulations, here we used 4 players and had them start with a bankroll of $1000 each. To see the short and long term results, all players completed 500 spins: the graph below shows what happened to their bankroll.
At the end of the simulation, each player managed to earn a certain profit. To give more detailed information:
- Player 1 went bankrupt on spin 179 (-$188) and was the unluckiest. However, he managed to recover his losses after 500 spins (remember that in real life he would have to quit the game).
- Player 3 came very close to going bust on spin 400 but managed to recover his losses over the next 100 spins. In real life, he would probably have had to leave the game too.
- Players 2 and 4 were luckier than the others. They had very few losing streaks and almost no losses throughout the simulation.
Pitfalls of Six Line Quattro
Placing a 24-number bet to increase the chances of winning to over 60% in all variants of roulette (68% in European roulette, 63% in American roulette) is of course an advantage, but not a guarantee. You will still lose, and if you lose too many times in a row, you risk going bankrupt.
This risk will be higher than most other roulette strategies: as we mentioned when analyzing the Triple Martingale system, if you lose 10 times in a row, the bet increases to 2,000 times the initial stake. Also, table limits will be a problem here too: once you reach the limit, you won't be able to increase it any further, making the system useless.
Another problem is that the payouts are not that satisfying. Line bet pays 1:5 and this reduces the profit considerably. For example, let's say you win on the very first spin: you placed 4 bets worth 1 USD each, so you invested a total of 4 USD. You can only win one of these bets and the payout will be 5 USD - your total profit is only 1 USD.
Conclusion
If you play with a big bankroll and like to take risks, you can try the Six Line Quattro system, but such players also like to maximize their profits, which is quite difficult to achieve in this system. It's actually a very risky strategy, even if it doesn't look like it at first glance, and it's not for everyone: those who play with a low bankroll should stay away. Others should exercise extreme caution and discipline, otherwise it can be just as devastating as the regular Triple Martingale.
